2 Marie Curie PhD Research Positions at Chemical Process & Energy Resources Institute | Εθνικό Κέντρο Έρευνας και Τεχνολογικής Ανάπτυξης (ΕΚΕΤΑ)

Applications are invited for two (2) PhD positions (Early Stage Researcher Fellowship), funded by the Marie Curie-ITN 'HAoS' project. HAoS (Holistic Approach of Spray Injection through a Generalized Multi-phase Framework), is a unique international and interdisciplinary research consortium based on high profile universities, research organizations and large innovative industries.

PhD topics that are offered:

ESR1 Project Title: Droplet cluster break-up characterisation under non-evaporating conditions.

Objectives:

• (1) To characterise using DNS the dynamics of dense droplet clusters.
• (2) Derivation of relevant SGS (sub-grid-scale) models

ESR2 Project Title: Droplet cluster break-up characterisation under evaporating conditions.

Objectives:

• (1) Characterise the increased surface area and vaporisation rate for the same droplet clusters as ESR1 including vaporisation.

Person Specifications:
